i listened again and it doesn't really sound like Hurley to me? :/
French dudes were pretty hot though, too bad they had to die so quickly. Also it bothered me that none of them looked 1988 enough.

It would be awesome if Hurley had put the numbers there in the first place, Moebius-tastic.

thread keeps coming back to this for some reason—i really fucking hope they DONT pull this kind of shit

yeah tbh I really amn't looking forward to jack and kate being adam and eve and think that shit is dumb

yeah the time-loop thing is great for Locke and his Other leader self-fulfilling prophecy but otherwise it just seems gimmicky. Also if it is jack and kate, he can't have kept the two stones he found all that time right? meh.
― Disco/Very (Roz), Monday, 16 February 2009 15:07 (fifteen years ago) link
more gimmicky than a wheel that changes time?

the adam & eve thing is different. im talking about a guy knowing a thing cuz he himself told him that thing and so on
― s1ocki, Monday, 16 February 2009 15:08 (fifteen years ago) link
nothing wrong with gimmicks as long as they're good... moebius thing is flimsy and lame imo
― s1ocki, Monday, 16 February 2009 15:09 (fifteen years ago) link
i'm not a fan of the adam and eve thing really, seems a bit too perfect to me, but let's see what they do with it i guess.
― Local Garda, Monday, 16 February 2009 15:09 (fifteen years ago) link
maybe it will be the actual adam and eve.

for better or worse im feeling like moebius time loop is how its gonna play out
― ice cr?m, Monday, 16 February 2009 15:11 (fifteen years ago) link
i will complain about it on the internet if that happens
― s1ocki, Monday, 16 February 2009 15:11 (fifteen years ago) link
yes it is gimmicky. maybe because a wheel that changes time is kind of whoa-crazy and external to the characters, whereas all the other time-loop theories is directly related to them suggesting that they really have no control over their life at all and that it's all been predetermined. Which is totally boring from a story/character perspective.

theres def going to be a BUT WE CAN CONTROL OUR LIVES NOTHING HAS BEEN DECIDED aspect as evidenced by desmond

so is mrs hawking's church a dharma related building then? the computers seem similar in the episodes so far.
― Local Garda, Wednesday, 18 February 2009 01:18 (fifteen years ago) link
She seems to have Others and Widmore ties--I don't know about Dharma though.

Who thinks the island would've been moving through time every 108 minutes if Desmond wasn't down there punching in the code?

Ben's mother died in childbirth. Was he just being a smartass, or is there something to it?
― Johnny Fever, Thursday, 19 February 2009 03:10 (fifteen years ago) link
I wondered that about Ben's mother too. It's possible that someone else helped raise him besides his alcoholic father, and that's who he's referring to.

Dharma Jin is in a newish van and clean jumpsuit, so they're in the 70s right now, right?
― Johnny Fever, Thursday, 19 February 2009 03:17 (fifteen years ago) link
I think he was just being an ass.
Looking forward to finding out how Hurley was convinced (threats to his parents probably), what happened to Aaron, what the Sayid-in-custody story is. But I hope they keep it brief.
xpost, yeah (70s).
― WmC, Thursday, 19 February 2009 03:18 (fifteen years ago) link
So let me get this straight: Sun demands that Ben tell her how he knows that Jin is alive or she will kill him. Ben promises he can prove it to her and drives her to Ms. Hawking, who says they all need to go back to the island but doesn't mention anything about who's still on the island. Instead of asking about Jin or following through on her threat to Ben, who has clearly proven nothing, Sun just wanders away.
― Bianca Jagger (jaymc), Thursday, 19 February 2009 03:18 (fifteen years ago) link
Yeah, that was pretty clumsy.
― WmC, Thursday, 19 February 2009 03:19 (fifteen years ago) link
Most of this episode was clearly left vague so they can fill things in over the next howevermany weeks.
― Johnny Fever, Thursday, 19 February 2009 03:20 (fifteen years ago) link
i thought the guy from "la haine" was on it before but i was getting the episode where sayid infiltrates the terrorists in australia mixed up with that don cheadle movie "traitor".
― LaMonte, Thursday, 19 February 2009 03:34 (fifteen years ago) link
also, jack asks ben about how he knows mrs. hawking, ben mumbles something about faith and jack doesn't follow up.
― abanana, Thursday, 19 February 2009 03:39 (fifteen years ago) link
speaking of not following up.. does anyone ever ask Ben or anyone what the purpose of the dharma initiative is or why they have to return to the island etc..
seems like those sort of things would be asked a lot every season.... but no... apparently the lost survivors don't care.
― CaptainLorax, Thursday, 19 February 2009 04:18 (fifteen years ago) link
no one even asks ben how he got beaten up, so forget about the bigger questions. the O6 are a bunch of idiots.
so recreating flight 815 with proxies huh - hurley was reading comics (Walt) and carrying a guitar case (Charlie), sayid seemed to have been escorted by a US marshal (like Kate), and who wants to bet that Kate is pregnant (Claire)? Hurley doesn't really need anyone to convince him to go back btw, island hallucinations do it for him.
theory of the week: stuck-in-the-70s Juliet helped raise Ben, which is why the Others' therapist lady told her "You look just like her" and why Ben is so attached to her.
― Disco/Very (Roz), Thursday, 19 February 2009 05:26 (fifteen years ago) link
where is Walt anyway?

yikes that line. because I thought at first that Ben got beaten up by Charles Widmore, but now I just got a sickening feeling that he killed Penny, and it was Desmond who beat him up. :( :(
